Dear all,

	on Friday ( 23rd Nov ) on BBC2 in the UK was a program about
high voltage/Tesla coils. Adam Hart-Davis introduces it. The programs
are about all sorts of things but last week was about HV. He was at the
National Grid Research Center. One person had a Tesla Coil that had a
secondary that came to bits? It seemed to be octagonal in shape and
sloped up to the top. There where about 5 sections. Produced some nice
sparks. Adam also hid in a Faraday cage while it was hit by the coil. I
wanted to see him hit by the 2MV impulse generator.

	There is a web page  http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/scienceshack

Also a newsletter to subscribe to.

			Bye for now,

				Gordon Forrest
